The best use of this report, though, may not be in your reading about it on our blog. It might be from your dropping a hard copy on the desk of someone important.

Here's how: Send an email to my boss, Green Lane Project Director Martha Roskowski, at [email protected] Include your mailing address, a sentence or two on how you'd like to use the reports in your work, and how many copies (up to five) you'd like.

No charge — if we think you've got a good way to use them, this one's on us.

What's in the report

A collaboration between PeopleForBikes' Green Lane Project and the Alliance for Biking and Walking, we've been posting parts of it here on the site over the last few months. Here's a directory of links to the stories we've shared.

Throughout the report, and many of the blog posts here, we've included statistics and infographics showing that these aren't isolated anomalies. The fact that high-quality bike lanes help the economy is part of the new economic reality for American cities.

It's always nice to be working on the side of reality. All you have to do is talk about it.
